Department of Labor Prison Reentry Initiative

The Dannon Project's largest reentry program is the Department of Labor Prison Reentry Initiative. This program was awarded funding originally in 2009 in partnership with the Department of Labor/Employment Training Administration (DOLETA) to provide mentoring, job training, education and case management services to non-violent previously incarcerated persons reintegrating back to the Jefferson County area. The project provides re-entry services and career readiness training services to participants meeting the criteria for the DOLETA RExO (Reintegration of Ex-Offenders) funding priority.

The New Ribbon Campaign

TDP would like to introduce to you our NEW Green Ribbon Campaign! We hope by promoting our green ribbon campaign that it will raise awareness about the issues that previously incarcerated persons (PIP) face when reentering communities across America. Your support is needed to make this campaign a success.

“I made my mind up before I left prison that I would do everything I needed to do to keep from ever returning to prison.” Duane Jennings said in an interview with the reentry coordinator.
